I took time away to do a few minutes shopping. Lots of people coming and going in the stores, but there's a discernible darkness over the land ... it's in the air and in the sky ... it's heavy and oppressive. All of Heaven must be in agony over this beleaguered earth. In times such as these ...

My faith looks up to thee, thou Lamb of Calvary ...

[Pegita]

Heavenly Father, we return to thank You that our hope is in You, and not in man. If it be Your will, Merciful Father, send that one Judge, or a panel of Judges, who will weary of the Schindlers appearing ... that they will grant justice and mercy to their daughter. Make haste, O Lord, for the hour is late. Forgive those whose hands are turned to this deed ... may they repent and relent. Strike fear in the hearts of those who yet hold sway over this mother's child, for it is a fearsome thing to fall into the hands of the Living God. We plead for her life, O Lord, for it is Your hand that holds her life and breath. You have called us to pray ... you have told us to be still and know that You are God. Blessed be Your Name, now and forevermore. Amen ...

I've felt it too, Pegita. And not just today...it's getting worse.
